EPM Emissions Module

Description & Model Info | Module Info | Current Version(s) | Change Log

Emissions StepDescription

The EPM emissions module is based on the Emissions Production Model (EPM).  The consumption and emission calculations from the original EPM model have been split into separate programs to conform to BlueSky Framework best practices.  The EPM emissions module invokes only the emissions calculations from EPM.
